Graham,

The WG has chosen a design that does not include a general warnings  
(or annotation) system, mechanism, or channel. The protocol spec  
defines two WSDL application-level faults (MalformedQuery and  
QueryRequestRefused), but there isn't a generic warning or annotation  
framework in the protocol or results format.

We discussed a design whereby a URI is returned in the XML results  
format that points to a resource that is a service annotation of the  
results of a query operation, but no consensus formed around adding  
such a feature to SPARQL this time around.

Does this response address yr comments?

Cheers,
